- Join me on this super in-depth review and modding tutorial of the new #Glorious #GMMKpro, where we'll explore this keyboard's main features: metal construction, hot-swappable switch sockets, per-key RGB illumination, interchangeable plate and stabs, gasket mounting, sound damping foam and software (including its claimed QMK & VIA compatibility).
We'll also go through its pros and cons as well as teach you how you can improve the sound and typing feel of this US $170 board to make it one of the best entry level choices in the semi-custom #MechanicalKeyboards market today.
And, to show you how it can sound with different switches and keycaps configurations, we'll sound test it with Alpaca and Gateron Ink linears, SP Star Purple tactiles, as well as with PBT (Artifact Bloom) and ABS (GMK and MT3) keycaps.

love this video Sam! Just what I needed!
Thanks ma man!!! Glad to know it was helpful!
It makes it all the more special coming from you!
I’ve watched probably 20-30 GMMK Pro videos and this is hands down the most informative and in depth. Incredibly well done!
Thank you my good Sir!!! Your feedback (and your time watching) is highly appreciated!!!
Just getting into the hobby and have a GMMK Pro on its way. This has got to be one of the most professional, calm, informative, amazing video productions I have ever seen. I can't believe I watched an hour long video on one keyboard. I will happily do it over, and over, and over again. You're it Sam - this is the future of informative videos.
Maybe it’s because the video is an hour long
It's so, so sad that the TH-cam algorithm has a burning hatred for videos of this kind. Well researched, well produced, in depth and long af. Keep up the great work :D
Hehe... True! But hey... It's just the algo doing what it needs to keep the majority of people in the platform right? We all know most people have the attention span of a child, so long documentary style video like those in this channel obviously don't work for 95% of people out there...
But then again, I don't mind! I'm happy attracting the other smarter 5% who do enjoy in-depth content! ;)
And while at it, thank you so much for your support!!!
You never know, the algorithm gods might decide to prioritise such content in the future.
Young people you seem to notice how algorithms turn your away from videos that are detailed about technology but fail to even think about how TH-cam algorithms keep you away from the things like the complete destruction of your freedoms and being in control your health and welfare. Demonetizing peoples channels, and banning them from free speech and alternative information they go against the man stream Narratives. That are bought and pay for by global corporations and communist China being on the top rung. Wake up kids you about to loose everything and your concerned about vibration in your pudding caps.
@@foosforce2147 if kids are basing their entire personal and political mindset off of social media, then they were bound to fail anyway. Don’t be another frothing lunatic screaming about China.
It's funny, but the algorithm actually put this as my second video. It was an immediate click and no regrets! This was an awesome review!
I'm not going to lie, this is without a doubt the best video I have ever seen for the GMMK PRO. Honestly, this guy is better than almost any keyboard youtube I have seen. Keep up the incredible work man!
Wow, thank you so much!!! Your feedback is highly appreciated!!!
And you can rest assured this is just the beginning of this channel... Lots more good stuff coming!
Your video is like a gold mine when someone actually wants to buy the gmmk pro, awesome!
I still don't get how you only have 1.8k subs, keep going you will be big one day :)
Wow thanks man!!! Your support is highly appreciatted!!!
As for subs, it is still a newborn channel with only 6 videos... So I'm actually grateful for having almost 2k subs in this early stage. As long as this channel keeps growing at its current pace, we're going places in the next few months and years! ;)
Already passed the 2.5k mark.
Loved the video btw, keep up the good work
As a hardcore tech enthusiast who watches MANY tech breakdown videos, this has got to be one of the best ones I’ve seen. Well done.
Thank you Cory!!! Loved the feedback!!!
keep doing what you do man, people will eventually love your documentary style video. we'll be here watching you grow to 1 mil!
Hehe Thank you!!! I'll be here grinding for as long as it takes! 😆👍
Okay, I'm convinced that you're the only person who can really tackle the infamous Q1 ping issue. Please, tell us you're going to do a in-depth review of the Keychron Q1.
😂 You bet there will be an ultimate Q1 guide around here Sir! Still waiting on my copy to arrive and I can't wait to try some mods on that keyboard to make it sing like a board worth twice its price!
In the meantime, I'm finishing the production of a couple more videos that should drop before that one though... Stay tuned! :)
Even before I clicked, I knew that this video will be extemely useful, detailed and overall high quality by all means.
Wow, thank you so much for the trust!!!
(I must be doing something right then! :)
This is the most high effort video I've ever watched. Props to you for creating something so detailed even though you knew it would get less views due to the length. It really feels like you made this to help the community
Thank you, Thomas! You are indeed correct! My videos are a collection of things one SHOULD NOT DO if he/she wants to become a TH-cam superstar! 😂
But I obviously don't do these videos to build a hit YT channel... The main goal here is to give an honest contribution to the hobby and the community around it (specially to newcomers).
The secondary goal is to help demystify some of the hype and FUD propagated by some corners of this community, especially the part about "only the most crazy-expensive and exclusive keyboards being any good", which I obviously disagree with.
The instagram plug after the "Personally, I don't care about marketing." line was beautiful. Well done.
😂 You're so right! I totally missed the irony there when editing.
The issue was with the script though... what I actually meant there was "I don't care about Glorious marketing".
I love all of this. So thorough, well thought out, organised and top quality voiceover recording to boot. Cheers mate!
Thank you so much Declan!!! Your positive feedback is highly appreciated!!!
WOAHHH this is both entertaining, yet also VERY in depth. This is AWESOME. Without the a doubt the most in-depth review, compared to some other channels claims of detail.
Haha... Thank you!!! "In-depth review" is the name of the game here! XD
Absolutely the best keyboard review on the TH-cam’s. Extremely thorough, great testing and awesome mod recommendations. Please keep these reviews coming. Thank you!
Much appreciated my friend!!! Despite my long hiatus since this video, make no mistake: I have been working on a TON of new content that will drop in the channel soon! So, stay tuned... ;)
This video is well done and exactly what I needed. Been down the rabbit hole for only a few days but you made everything make so much sense, it goes a long way giving some backstory for each topic or going into what the typical enthusiast would think.
Thank you so much for this awesome feedback!!! And yeah... "context" is this channel's main focus! Sure... not all my videos will be "ultimate guides" with 1 hour runtime such as this one. But even when I produce shorter content, I will always do my best to put everything in the right context to help beginners and veterans to better understand the products' facts, as well as my views and opinions on them.
Fantastic work as per usual! Thanks for putting all of the work that you do into these videos!
You're very welcome!!! Nice feedback like this is always appreciated! :)
Dude, the amount of work that must have went into this video blows my mind, and is very much appreciated! You definitely gained my sub!
Thank you so much for the sub!!! Highly appreciated!!!
And you'd be right about the amount of work this video took to produce! XD
While not all my videos go this deep (the GMMK Pro was a huge product launch and deserved a 1 hour video), you can always expect them to go far deeper than most review channels out there usually do.
That is the main reason I created this channel: to be the definitive source for in-depth reviews and modding tutorials for PC peripherals.
Best review I've seen for this keyboard - very clear, well structured, well paced, great production value and great suggestions. Please keep doing what you are doing. Thank you
Thanks a million Eric!!! Loved the feedback!
And you can rest assured this channel is just getting started. So much more to come!
Incredible video. I loved how extensive the review was, and what a clean editing format.
Thank you!!! You can be assured there many more well edited extensive reviews on the way! ;)
Wow!!!! The amount of information I've gained through your in-depth review and modding guide is amazing. I look forward to your content. The detail and care that you've put into your video is exceptional.
Thank YOU my good Sir, for taking the time to leave great feedback!!! I am currently working on a follow-up to this video, where I'll finally test the GMMK Pro with PC and FR4 plates, as well as try PE foam pads and a few other tricks. Stay tuned! ;)
Incredible stuff. I ordered this keyboard today and killing time by watching reviews and came across your video and simply blown away by the amount of detail and research put into this video.
I was surprised to see that you don't have a lot of followers at this time since the channel is fairly new and videos don't have a daily or weekly frequency but with the way you make videos I don't see getting a subscription base as a problem.
Thanks again for making such an incredible video. I'll be following your channel and hope a lot is to come in the future 👍
Thank you'so much Aryan!!! Loved the feedback!!! I started this channel as a way to pass the time last year, but this is about to get real serious in 2022! :). There is a LOT of content in the works for this channel and you won't regret the sub! Stay tuned!!! ;)
Perfect, just what I was looking for with this board in my cart. Appreciate the effort behind this video. I think I will end up going with a white/black theme as that matches my setup, but DAAAAAMMMNN that black with gold glow was fantastic!
Thank you sir!!! And yeah... The black and yellow theme was so cool that I even changed my mind about the config I was originally intending for this board. Even thinking about getting a gold volume knob now to complete the theme...
by far the best reviews that I've ever seen of this keyboard, thanks for all the time that you've putt in the making of this incredible video.
Cheers from Argentina.
Wow, thank you so much Emmanuel!!! Appreciated the nice feedback and I hope this video was helpful to your keyboard project!
Saludos! :)
Excellent video on the GMMK Pro, perfect amount of depth needed for just about anyone wanting to find out more about the board, new to the scene or well versed in the custom keyboard community. Brilliant work, sub well earned!
Much appreciated!!! That is always the plan with my videos: offer good amount of information for beginners, but also allow experienced people to navigate the video and get specifically the information they're looking for. And thank you so much for the sub!!!
I've watched countless videos on the GMMK Pro, this would be my first mechanical build and I want all the information I can get to make sure I'm satisficed with my decisions. This is by far the best video regarding this model by far I've watched, and has certainly influenced my decisions on what components and configuration I want. Thank you!
Noice!!! Thank you for the awesome feedback Kyle!!!
And happy to know it was helpful to your project!
This was the best GMMK Pro video I've seen. Absolutely agree on the stock foam muting the board, and I'd like to add that even with all the foam removed it's still the quietest keyboard I own.
Thank you so much!!! And yeah... I have to say that even after trying other mods (currently playing with other plate materials for example), while they do affect the sound a bit, they cannot make this keyboard much louder.
There is something about the choice of materials, manufacturing techniques and design that makes this board intrinsically quieter than other keyboards with similar layout. The funny thing here is that this might have been Glorious intention from the beginning, since they started working on this project at a time when most people in this hobby were stuffing their keyboards with all sorts of materials to kill resonance and ping.
In the end, it worked for the GMMK Pro in that regard (a board that is very good in containing hollowness and ping). But then, by the time the keyboard was released, the community had moved on the next "trend", which is to have keyboards that are loud and "poppy".
It goes to show the challenges a company like Glorious has to deal with when trying to give enthusiasts what they want. It turns out enthusiasts can be a fickle bunch... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good lord that was a thorough review, just what I needed. I'm shocked to see a video like this on such a small channel. If you keep this up consistently I could see you going far. I'm glad to have found the channel!
Thank you so much!!! That is always the best compliment a small content creator can get!
I'm of the belief that if you do things the proper way, like the big professional channels do, you'll eventually become a big professional channel yourself... ;)
While I'm still working on the upload schedule part of this channel (to have more videos posted more often), you can rest assured the quality will always stay high.
The effort that went into this video is incredible. It goes so in-depth with so much useful information. Great job!
Thank you!!! So glad to know it was helpful! That's is exactly what I built this channel for: to be one of the most in-depth resources for the type of tech we all love!
I will say it again. This channel is so underrated and deserves more subs.
Thank you ma man!!! We all start somewhere, right?
But with hard work and dedication we'll get there one day... :)
I would agree, subbed.
Your quality is out of this world. I’m talking about the content and the visuals and the audio and the structure, I can’t imagine how long making this video must’ve taken you. Thank you for it
Wow, thank YOU friend, for your nice words!!! While my videos take a really long time to produce, that is the type of video you can always expect to see in this channel.
Stumbled on your channel today, while looking for a review of this keyboard. Absolutely love your review style, hands down the best of anything reviewing style I've seen to date. Informative and in depth, love it! Subscribed!
Wow thank you so much for such nice words (and for your sub :)!!! Loved the feedback!
Great amount of detail in your explanations I appreciate all of the work you put in to this very much. Every other review video I've watched doesn't even come close. 10/10 will keep coming back to this as I'm modifying :)
Thanks a Million my friend!!! Happy to know my work paid off in offering a practical guide for your mod!
I know it's been over a year since you released this video but I had to leave a comment to say this is by FAR the best quality production tech review I've seen in a long time. You don't spend unnecessary time talking about frivolous things. Just amazing amount of information delivered in the most professional manner. You deserve much higher recognition!
Wow, thanks for the incredible feedback!!! Super appreciated!
And yeah... We're trying to make good keyboard content (and other peripherals soon) for grown-ups here. I know my "straight to business" style might not be for everyone in this hobby, but I suspect that this is exactly what an important subset of this community might be looking for.
(nothing against the memes and anime stuff other creators mix with their keyboard videos, but let's just say I don't want to mix "peanut butter with my chocolate" ;)
This video, after thorough searching offers the best amount of information I could honestly find on the internet.
Bravo, absolute legend, you have 500k++ sub production quality.
Wow thank you man!!! Highly appreciated!!! 🙏
Thanks for the awesome mod showcase, it really helped me out.
Also your information packed videos are superb, visually and educationally.
You deserve 100x your subs for sure.
Thank you so much for the feedback!!! Knowing that these videos are being helpful to viewers like you is the best part of this hobby for me!
I am blown away by how great and informative this video was. The level of quality and care you took making this video is appreciated. I was so shocked to see how small this channel is! Definitely subscribed. Looking forward to more content. Cheers
Thank you so much Travis and welcome aboard!!! And yeah... baby channel taking baby steps! 😁 But with viewers like you subscribing every day, we're going places in due time. You can be sure there is a ton of in-depth content in the pipeline! Stay tuned...
Damn!The efford you put into making a video is insane.You deserve more subs
Hehe... Thank you so much man!!! This is the type of video I always wanted to watch when considering a product, but could never find on TH-cam... So, I decided to start making them myself.
It turns out, it is a lot of work to put one of these babies together! lol
And let's just say that long form content like this is not exactly wildly popular on TH-cam either, so that is one more reason why big TH-camrs don't bother to produce anything like this.
But... Because I found that I actually enjoy making these "documentary" style videos, I will keep doing them regardless of how many views I get. I'm sure with time, likeminded folks will find their way to this channel and join the fun! :)
Been waiting for this!
Sorry for the long wait! This one took a while to produce! XD
Thanks for dropping by!!!
I really love the video, it's easy to tell you put a lot of work into your content. I'm getting my GMMK pro soon from the flex batch and I can't wait because it's gonna be my first custom board.
Thank you so much Rob! And congratulations on your new keyboard!!! :)
Sooooooo underrated. Amazing video guide and analysis. Every question I had about this board was answered and demonstrates here. Thank you!
Yo thank you!!! That's exactly the kind of feedback content creators like me want to get! :)
This was wonderful, you did it so professionally. You got a sub from me
Thank you man!!! That's what we aim for around here! :D
2k subs!?!?!? Dude, this is the quality of content I'd expect from someone with a million + subs. I thought my attention span was tiny, and here I am after watching an hour long keyboard review video. You will become much more popular, just wait. There's no way you don't, it's too good to be left on a small channel.
👊😁🤞 Thank you so much!!! Loved your feedback!!!
And I have to agree with you, of course! I decided to go all out in the quality of the footage, audio, scripting and editing from day one in this channel, because I believe that these are the things that really matter in the long run to succeed in TH-cam. It will take a bit of time, of course (the algorithm will put your channel on trial for a while, before it gives you big audiences)... But good content always floats to the top eventually!
I 100% agree this man deserves so much more than this.
This is one heck of a product discussion / review. Thanks a lot!
Thank YOU for the awesome feedback my friend!!!
And "product discussion" is the key term there... ;)
I find product reviews alone just boring, so the exciting part of this whole thing to me is analyzing the trends, the market and industry players.
I know my videos become very dense (and even a bit difficult to process) to a lot of people, but I'm not catering to the masses here... I want to build a community that goes beyond just the average "PC Peripherals enthusiast"; I want instead to foment a group of "PC peripherals THINKERS" around this channel. And so far, I can say I'm very happy with the results!
Have look through dozens of reviews of the GMMK pro but this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the informative video!
Hey Kadach! Welcome!! Glad you found the channel my friend (and happy to know the review was helpful)!!!
If you haven’t already, you might want to check the follow-up to this one, where I try different plate materials and mods on the GMMK Pro: th-cam.com/video/HhahtVszzgI/w-d-xo.html
Sam god you never cease to amaze me dude, I should be getting my flex batch email for my black slate any day here and this is exactly all the information I ever wanted to. Also I will DEFINITELY try out your o-ring gasket mount mod for it!
Hehe... Thank you Clarky! Nice to see you back here!
And yeah... O-rings continue to be the cheapest and most versatile tool in any keyboard enthusiast's toolbox!
This is the most thorough review I've seen on this. Really helps with the buying decision so tyvm.
You're so very welcome my friend! And thank you for taking the time check out my video (and leaving nice feedback :)!
Love the long form videos. I bought my gmmk this past weekend and am really enjoying it.
Thanks Joe!!! Appreciated man!!!
I think you had asked a question about how to turn off the Caps Lock blinking lights from this keyboard before, but I was working hard on my next video (dropping tomorrow) and I couldn't go back to the GMMK Pro to see if the latest version of the firmware would allow this.
I just updated both the Glorious Core and my GMMK Pro's firmware now and still could not find an option to do this. Which unfortunately means the only way to change this would be by flashing the keyboard to QMK and then completely programing it yourself.
I'm thinking about shooting a guide to teach people how to do that, given all the limitations of the Glorious Core App...
That's one hell of a detailed review. Many thanks for the dedicated work you put in that video. *applause*
Yo thank you man!!! Glad you're here!
Much more good stuff coming to this channel... stay tuned!
Never thought I'd watch a 1 hour keyboard review video in my life. Now I'm about to get into my next expensive hobby lmao. Legit one of the best product review videos I've ever seen!
😂 I know... I got carried away on this one... But that is the idea behind my "ultimate guides"...
“No stone left unturned”!!! I obviously won’t be able to do these ultimate guides for every peripheral I review, but I'll try to do them for the ones I know will be more popular with the community going forward.
And thank you so much for your nice words my good Sir!!! Your feedback is highly appreciated!!!
@@IOSam I actually loved the extended length of the video. It answered every question I could've possibly had, but I also understand it would be difficult to do that for every review. Keep up the amazing work!
The fact that you said dampers instead of dampeners got my sub. Great quality vid
Hehe... You are possibly the only person who ever picked that up in all of my videos (you are certainly the only one who ever commented about it, that's for sure!). Thank you so much for the support (and the sub)!!!
Subscribed! I love how detailed you are in your videos! Super informative and very useful review. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the sub and amazing feedback Emi!!! More detailed and informative videos in the work! ;)
Huge amount of work put into this video, kudos!
Thanks a ton Guillermo! And yeah... That's how we roll here! :)
My promise to my subscribers is that if you spend time on my channel, you will always be rewarded with quality production in every possible way (audio, video and writing).
And while is not my job to tell my viewers what they should or should not buy, it is my main objective to inform them, as much as possible, about what they are getting for their money if they decide to buy that product.
easily the best video about GMMK Pro.
Thank you so much!!! And since I try to make the videos I'd like to watch, I will have to agree with you on this one! 👊😆
I got my gmmk pro, followed this guide and it sounds crazy good. Even better actually
Thank you for this in-depth video.
Nice!!! Which switch/keycaps/stabs did you use?
@@IOSam filmed & lubed gateron black ink, durock stabs, pcb/plate foam only, alu plate, classic blue dsa pbt keycaps.
Your o-ring trick is pretty nice. I didn't expect to like the final result as much. It is my first custom and it's damn close to any highend GB kb I see out there.
Again, thanks to you and your good tips
So happy to know the mods worked out well for you! And great choice of switches, keycaps and stabs by the way! I can totally get it why your board sounds as good as it does with these parts. Congrats man!
@@Max-vp6rq once you finish building your keyboard can you tell me how it feels? I’m also planning on getting black inks with durock v2 stabs
@@yesnt9523 feels soft and smooth. The durock v2 will fit on aluminium plate if you push hard... really hard. Didn't need any of the screws.😂
By design the gmmk pro has a compressed and muted sound. So if you want to hear more your switches distinct sound, try to not having it too tight.
Holy hell the effort that went in to this video is insane. Thanks for all the hard work and top quality. Liked and subbed.
Yo!!! Thanks you so much for the feedback and the sub!! Highly appreciated!
My man, your videos are absolutely next level. No one goes into the depth and detail that you do, and it’s incredibly interesting and useful. There is no other keyboard TH-camr I would sit through an hour long video of - but I watched this whole damn thing. Amazing work!
✌😂 Your comment just made my day!!! Thank you so much for your nice words!!!
While I never really expect most people to watch my videos in its entirety, I am always amazed by the number of people, like you, that actually do! It reinforces my theory that if you create quality content with a level of production that respects your viewers, people will sit through it (despite the mountain of people telling me that anything longer than 15 minutes will kill your channel).
The other bright side of producing high level content is that you get a high-level audience! I'm constantly amazed by the incredibly high level of my audience here (nice people leaving polite, constructive and meaningful comments)! It is a virtuous cycle it seems, and I couldn't be happier!
I love this highly detailed long-form content. I've watched just about every GMMK Pro video to learn about what mods people are doing, and I'm surprised about how much I learned in this one. Didn't think about O rings around the case screws. I'll have to give that a try on mine
Thanks for the awesome feedback Mark!!! Appreciated!
If you want some flex in the GMMK Pro, you should definitely give the O-rings mod a try!
There are many other mods that I couldn't fit in this already long video, but that will be featured on a follow-up video that will focus specifically on GMMK Pro mods.
Agh, I have been watching since the SIlent GMMK build and I can't believe I didn't try the o-ring mod before I sold the Pro. It sounded not too shabby after your mods.
Great video as always, Sam. I have the Portico and I think it's a great board, but I'm excited to hear your thoughts about it.
Mr. Austin! Nice to see you here again!!!
Hey man... What can I say? Rubber O-rings can fix almost anything keyboard related! 🤷♂️ One of the best (and cheapest) tools for any keyboard enthusiast's arsenal!
I'm starting to work on my Portico now and it is incredibly exciting to see how fast these entry level custom boards are evolving! Such a nice kit for $120! I really hope TKC manages to keep these things in stock going forward!
Incredibly in depth and I love it, thank you!
Always happy to know there are more people who enjoy super thorough reviews out there! And thank YOU for the great feedback!!!
Another amazing in-depth video! Thank you Sam!
Thank you for the amazing feedback my friend!!! Always appreciated!!
I've read a few articles saying this board has pretty significant lag in gaming? Have you experienced this during your testing?
I saw reports about this as well (I believe Brandon Taylor mentioned something about this with one of the review samples he got), and I suspect that is why you need to update the firmware of the board as soon as you plug it in with the Glorious App installed.
Since I did this as soon as I got mine out of the box, I did not perceive any latency issues with my board. But I'll test it specifically for this issue and post any results on my Blog (I'll leave a comment here when ready).
@@IOSam I'm definitely interested in this topic as well, I play some rhythm games where timing down to millisecond scales can become important at high levels. Thanks for the in-depth guide and looking forward to any updates!
Alright... After doing some homework on this topic, I have my humble opinion on this matter published on my blog here: www.iosamfranco.com/post/imho-gmmk-pro-and-its-input-latency-issue-should-you-care
@@IOSam Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this! I play a ton of Hunt and I can say that I've not noticed a bit of difference in my gameplay (I'm NOT a pro gamer by any means). I think your right, the switch makes a ton of difference. That's nice thing about these custom boards though, I can always just change the switch.
Can you do one for kbd67 lite or portico keyboard
Portico comming next! ;)
KBD67 Lite also coming sometime in the second half of the year.
When you said super in-depth you weren't kidding! Thank you for this comprehensive video. As someone new to building keyboards, I looked at so many videos to get the information I needed to make a good decision and your video was the best of the lot. Had already decided on the GMMK Pro and this just reaffirmed my decision.
You have a new subscriber!
Haha... in-depth content is the name of the game here! :D
Thank you so much for your feedback (and your sub)!!!
The production quality of your videos are amazing!
Thank you so much Daniel!!! Another video is just around the corner... Stay tuned! ;)
I am only a few minutes in and I think the video is better than the keyboard.
😂 Thank you!!! I hope you're right my friend! I think it might be easier to fix keyboards problems than fixing bad videos... lol
Ayy we are back :)
I may be late, but I always show up! ✌😂
@@IOSam Always great to see you again :) better late than never~~~
You earned a new subscriber. I happened to find your video and am really impressed with how well done it is and extremely informative! One of the best things is your organization of the timeline as well as ALL of the links to stuff you used in your video!! I can't tell you how many times I have watched someone else use something in a video that I wanted to buy and there is no info on what it even is. Please keep doing that for all your videos! Super helpful!
Thank you my good sir!!! Your feedback and sub are highly appreciated!
As for the timeline chapters and products' links, yeah... That's one more thing that I set out to do because, just like you, it always drives me mad when I can't find those on TH-cam videos out there. It's a couple more hours of work that makes all the difference in the world!
Man you work so hard on your videos. It is a treat to watch them
Hehe... Thank you! Hard work indeed!!! XD
But i have fun making them, so it's totally worth it!
Absolutely amazing video with high-quality visuals and explanations. Some big creators could learn a thing or two about your method of communicating information in an in-depth yet simple way. You got my sub within the first 5 minutes of the video. Well done!
Well thank you my good Sir!!! Honored by your support and incredibly positive feedback!!! You have my word that I'll keep improving and making these videos worthy of your sub!
This was an amazingly articulate and well thought out video. Chef’s kiss! Subscribed and thank you for the tip with the gaskets 👍💕
Awesome!!!! Thank you so much Heidi!!!
Glad to know this video was helpful to you!! Your feedback and your sub are extremely appreciated!

Can’t wait to see your channel blow up! You deserve it with this quality
Wow thank you so much!!! Highly appreciated!!!
I love how in depth you are on the GMMK Pro. I’m like a lot of other viewers where I’ve watched a handful of videos on the same board but none are as informative as yours. You’ve got a new subscriber, keep up the good work!
Hey Emma! Thank you so much for your nice words and your sub!!!
You can count on my videos always being "long-form" such as this, which means you'll always get the full product picture (design, build quality, features, pricing, availability and competition alternatives).
Amazing quality, can't wait to watch this channel grow.
Thank you so much!!! 🙏
Awesome review. Saw everything but totally appreciate the mods you've given. I'm looking to get one in the next couple of months once it goes on general stock listing. Thanks Sam!!!
Thank YOU for your viewership and support ma man!!! Glad I could help!
Holy everything, this was in-depth! Amazing. Great video and you deserve some extra subs.
Thus, subbed.
Thank you so much for feedback and the sub!!! Highly appreciated!!!
You’re the first channel where I subbed after one video. Thank you for doing what you do!
Wow thank YOU!!! Honored by your nice words! :)
And welcome aboard!! Currently working hard on my next video, so stay tuned!
Amazing video, genuinely blown away! Been curious about getting into custom keyboards and was unsure about the GMMK Pro. Happy to say that this video answered my questions and I have just purchased a GMMK Pro during the Black Friday sale. Thank you very much for this review!
Thank YOU Mr. Fr∅g, for such nice feedback!!! Happy to know this guide was helpful on your custom keyboard journey! Please report back on your final results once you finish your build!
Brother Sam, I had to watch your video again, it's just really well made and just love to listen to the typing sounds. Again my compliments 🙏🏾
What can possibly be more rewarding for a content creator than getting such positive feedback?!?! 😁🙏
Thank you again (profusely!) for your support of my work!!!
Love this video! Thank you for providing in-depth guidance.
Happy to know this was helpful!!! And thank YOU for the nice feedback!
Thank you for this amazing video! Also it is so wonderful that you have the list of all of the products. Like ALL OF THEM. Thank you for got us covered. Really helpful! Much appreciated!
You are so welcome my friend! And yes... I do my best to link EVERYTHING in the video description of all my videos. And I also try to keep the links up-to-date (I know how much time that can save to my viewers).
Great video! Kept my interest the entire video. Great format.
Thank you my good sir!!! You time and your feedback are highly appreciated!!!
Best review on GMMK Pro so far - great explanation gasket design - I finally get it! Subscribed!
Thank you Andrew!!! Great feedback! And you can bet I'll keep making videos with the best possible explanations about these types of topics (that unfortunately, most content creators just mention in a hurry and expect viewers to already know everything about it).
And thank you for the sub!!! Highly appreciated! :)
Subscribed already. Found a video worth watching with all the necessary details included leaving none out. Kudos.
Thank you sir!!! Your feedback, and your sub, are profoundly appreciated!!!
I have to say, probably the best produced video, and most informational video I have seen FOR A LONG TIME!!!!
Great Job
PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS
😂 You betcha my good sir!!! The next one (turning a TKC Portico inside out) is brewing as we speak... ;)
PS: Thank you so much for your support!!! Highly appreciated!
Amazing comprehensive deep dive of this board sir. Cheers.
Many thanks for the positive feedback!!!
Hope to see you here soon for the TKC Portico review coming next! :)

Glad you enjoyed it (and thank you for the positive feedback :)!!!
This is a very in-depth, and informative video. Thank you for making this, and adding to my excitement while I wait for my GMMK Pro to arrive.
Glad you enjoyed it (and thanks for your feedback)!!!
Oh, and congrats on your new keyboard! :)
@@IOSam Thank you so much!
The best video I've found on the GMMK Pro. I really appreciate the time you put into this and sharing your modding. I subbed.
Thank you so much!!! And the sub is highly appreciated!!! :)
Insane video! Loved every second of it!
You’ve got a new subscriber 👏🏻
Thank you so much Daniel!!! Your time, you feedback and your sub are highly appreciated!!! 🙏
Your channel is a blessing. I bought the GMMK pro on what felt like a gamble but your video made it feel like a sound investment. No other channel has reviewed this board with such detail, depth, and quality. Thank you!
You're very much welcome!!! Thank you for checking out the video and taking the time to leave such nice feedback!
Awesome video, love the level of you detail you went to on this review! :-)

Thank you so much Ben!!! And welcome aboard! :)
Working hard to bring more quality content such as this to this channel!
Fantastic video, it was so well presented and easy to follow, it really didn't feel like it was over an hour long!
I've just subbed 😎
Thank you so much for your nice works (and for your sub)!!!
Knowing that such an information dense video like this still managed to be engaging is THE best feedback a content creator like me can wish for! 🙏
One of the best reviews I've seen, regardless of the product - precise, in depth, voice of an angel. Keep up the great work!
Hehe... Thank you so much!!!
(and you can bet we'll keep this thing rolling! ;)
Thanks for the thorough experiment on this board. Can't wait to start modding my GMMK pro.
That's what we're here for! Thank you for checking out the video!! And congrats on your new keeb!!! :)
